New Delhi, Feb 12 (IBNS): Aam Aadmi Party supremo and Delhi Chief Minister's designate Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.

He is likely to invite the Prime Minister for his swearing-in ceremony on Saturday.

Kejriwal is all set to take oath of office in a grand manner at the Ramlila Maidan here.

Following his landslide victory, Kejriwal sent a message of thanks to the voters on FM radio and also invited the Delhi residents for his oath-taking ceremony at the Ramlila Maidan.

On Wednesday he tweeted: "We want constructive n healthy relationship wid centre."

Winning 67 seats out of the total 70, the AAP surpassed the figures that were projected by exit polls on Saturday when Delhi had voted to elect a new Assembly.

Starting another innings in his political career, Kejriwal, who had shocked Delhi by resigning as the Delhi Chief Minister last year Feb only after 49 days in power, will take oath on Saturday as the chief minister of Delhi for the second time.
